Hello mam.... The pilonidal sinus leads to the abscess... It might drain sometimes and might seal off within few minutes. It's not the treatment for such a condition. If active infection is there then a course if antibiotics should reduce it. But to prevent the recurrence u have to get it removed completely.. The sinus I mean.... U can contact me or consult me online for any more details..
